So,  based on what you're saying,  everyone who was previously married could wait another couple of months?

No, I don't think that a single prior marriage alone would cause a 2 month delay in processing.   But, my guess is that if a petitioner has had multiple marriages, multiple K1 filings, and multiple arrests in the past, the USCIS will scrutinize the application to be sure  that they do not miss something and that will affect processing time.  One reason mentioned for this scrutiny is the result of the San Bernardino shooter/killer who entered the US on a K1 .   Senator Ted Cruz discusses this for several minutes in the Video.

 

I will close my thoughts here by noting that I believe that there is a reason that some petitions can take 30, 60, or even 90 days longer than others.   I would be interested if anyone has other suggestions as to explain why.

I don't know if I believe  this.  I think it depends on what desk your folder lands on.  I am a law enforcement officer.  Spot clean background.  Never married.  My fiance as well.  And we are still waiting.  But again, what do i know?

Oh No!

 

Who said that???

She was referring to my analysis of why some cases take longer than others, but her take away was not what I had intended.   

 

My apologies for alarming anyone, a single prior marriage would not have any significant affect on processing time of a case.  But if there is a history of multiple marriages, I would expect that the USCIS will look to see what the reasons were for divorce.   Of concern to them would be if divorce was due to domestic abuse for example.

I am talking about cases where wait times are 30 days or more.   If you are under 30 days wait, I agree also with you.

As a follow on to my statement, IMBRA (International Marriage Broker Regulation Act) is something that the USCIS takes very seriously.

Many of the questions on the I-129F are tailored to assist in the IMBRA screening process and can trigger further review.  Hopefully these are not issues that any of us need to worry about.

I seriously keep waiting for them to show them that my aunt is not an international marriage broker.  lol  My aunt introduced us.  But they just might shock me.
